Egypt police clash with protesters outside US embassy in Cairo

Egyptian police have clashed with protesters outside the US embassy in the capital, Cairo, as anger rages on over a blasphemous movie produced in the United States.
The clashes broke out during the early hours of Thursday as protesters chanted in the streets against the sacrilegious movie produced by an Israeli-American.
Security forces fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
The protests come several hours after Egyptian demonstrators gathered in front of the US embassy in Cairo, scaled the walls and tore down the US flag over the film, which insults Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
The state news agency, MENA, said some of the protesters were injured.
On September 11, gunmen attacked the US consulate in Libya’s eastern city of Benghazi, killing US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other US nationals.
The angry protesters on Thursday also demanded the US government apologize to the Muslim world over the release of the blasphemous movie.
